Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

8:45 AP.  I was looking forward to this run to see what 3 days off would do, and it improved things even more.  There's still some healing left to do in my bad hip, but I would have barely noticed the difference between the two if I wasn't hyper-aware of every twinge down there.  Still got a bit of soreness right afterward but feels pretty strong now.  Planning on 1 more TM run on Wednesday (3-4 miles) to make sure it recovered well from today, then I'll move back outside.

Brought my swimming stuff to work but I got an Anthrax booster in the morning so my shoulder was not in the mood for swimming.  So, no cardio yet again but soon it will not matter as long as tomorrow's TM run goes well because I'll be running again.  From that point on I'll run outside but easy runs for as long as I can stand it, which we all know will not be long but I'll try.

Went great, 8:33 pace overall.  Because my HF didn't quite feel perfect, I'll take another day off and run outside on Friday.

Swam a mile in about 26:05, giving a pretty strong effort in the last 200.  Got a day off work tomorrow and I'll start it with a morning run outside, probably 4 miles to start with and maybe 5 on Saturday.

Nice to be running again, winds were low and it was about 70F.  Ran 4.0 in 8:13 pace, which was probably too fast for injury recovery but felt good and easy at first.  Then I saw how out-of-shape I'd gotten after 3 weeks.  It felt like the me-from-3-months-ago.  Hopefully you can regain fitness faster than it takes to build it up in the first place.  Anyway, I'm thankful the injury seems to be behind me.  I guess 3 weeks ago it wasn't this hot either, plus I had White Rabbit stuck in my head the whole time for some reason.  That's a weird song to be running to.

74F at the start and 78F when I finished.  I don't know how some of you are running in 90 degrees because that was kind of miserable.  Anyway, 8:22 pace and ran pretty even splits - already felt in better shape than yesterday so maybe it's coming back to me.  I'll have 1 more run in TX before I head to Wyoming on Monday for a couple weeks of training for work and get spoiled by nice running weather again.
